April is Citizen Science Month! It's as good of a time as ever to get started with water quality monitoring. Some of our monitoring options, like Salt Watch, Nitrate Watch, and Creek Critters, are totally free and take just a few short minutes.

This April, our partners at are also working together toward a shared goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science, which every data point you monitor contributes to. Learn how to get involved with water monitoring at iwla.org/monitor. 🌎

💧🌿 This World Water Day, be a water hero in your own backyard! 🌿💧

Clean water starts with you! The Izaak Walton League makes it easy to monitor your local streams, rivers, lakes, and drinking water—from testing for road salt and nitrate pollution to identifying stream critters. Every observation helps protect our waterways and the wildlife that depend on them.

How to get involved:
1️⃣ Visit our website: Monitor Local Water: https://iwla.org/monitor-local-water/
2️⃣ Sign up for a monitoring program near you.
3️⃣ Collect data and help make a difference in your community – some programs take only a few minutes to monitor.

Your hands-on efforts help ensure clean, safe water for everyone—and it’s a fun way to connect with nature! 🌎💦
